Former Howard fans who like O&A now.

[DogStar69]

One thing that sucks about O&A is that they don't have a good message forum.

the most popular one is Wackbag, but if you say negative things about them you get banned, O&A are actually as sensitive about shit said about them and also have no sense of humor about themselves when others say it. They always ban people who call them out on their instant feedback and love blocking people in Twitter.

If you start new topics there about them the older members all gang up on you and tell you that you are stupid.

Anyway I don't listen daily I usually just download the shows and listen on my iPod Touch and usually I don't hear the latest show because I listen to a half hour at a time while in the car.

If anyone wants the site to download their shows let me know I will post it.

[Shithead]

O&A are actually as sensitive about shit said about them

Mostly Opie.....Ant is more strolling down the street, whistling while kicking a can as he goes

[Atomic Wedgie]

I'm beginning to enjoy their show, but just when Little Jimmy and a comic or two is sittin in studio.

[Peau de Soie]

Not gonna happen.

[j shmuck]

I wouldn't classify myself as a former Stern fan, but I definately prefer O&A these days.

I only started listening to them at the end of 2010 trying to prepare for a possible Stern retirement and thus far find the show more fun, with more laughs, and focuse on topics that better reflect my interests

Especially the fact that they have way more comedians who come in and hang out.

Little Jimmy is the funniest guy on either show

[Jack Shit]

Some of Norton's stuff is comic genius. Contrasted with the vibe in Howard's studio, you really get what's missing by not having someone in the Jackie/Billy/Artie chair.

Once I saw this guy, I knew not to listen to Opie Anthony

Every show has a bobo.

I'm sure there are a lot of people that don't listen to Howard after seeing pics of Irish John and Double A.

[turboteabag]

O&A and Howard are good at the potty mouth and low brow humor, just STFU about politics and current events. That is all.

[jms397]

Thank goodness I started listening before Howard let those idiots on the air and before you could see retards on the internet.

[Vanquish]

I guess the wars are over now. I kind of enjoy them, and actually agree a lot of the time with what they are saying, I agree more with them than some of Howard's extreme views on issues. And at least they give their own opinion on movies and TV shows.

Actually I like their guests and interviews more too, they actually have comedians in.

But sometimes the show is a little bit of a drag. Anyway I listen to them sometimes but not as religiously as the Stern show. I find the stuff they talk about more interesting, but it's just not as polished as the Stern show and some bits are not working for them.

[Scott]

I've been listening to them off and on for years, since they were on WAAF in Boston. I've never preferred them over Stern but to think you have to pick one or the other is silly. I've been listening to them a lot more now that Stern is down to 8-12 hours a week (and sometimes a month). I've never been one for reruns so if there isn't new Stern on, I will find something live to listen to.

They are much better when they're not talking about Howard too. A couple years ago when they were doing xm/fm at the same time, every time I put them on, I couldn't go 5 minutes without hearing them mention him.

One thing I like about them is they are younger and much more in tune with guys my age/social status. They are much more up to date with current music, technology and even video games. I'd much rather hear about that stuff than AGT or iphones.

[Shithead]

Opie on vacation all week yet Anthony and Jim are working...Stupid work ethic...:c....Supposed to be talking to Will Ferrell today

[Scott]

Howard's doing 112 shows this year which averages out to about 9 shows a month. Yet the price of Sirius has gone way up. And he wonders why people are pissed. Oh well, at least I'm finding other shows to fill the void away from 100 and 101. Lately I've been switching to O&A during Howard's live show for the first time in my life. Every time the topic is AGT I just zone out and don't hear it so I might as well listen to something.

[jobbey]

just started to listen to them the past week... today they're having shane from walking dead.

[FreeFredNorris]

It's a shame what SiriusXM has done to O&A. They never promote them at all! Yet, Howard, who rarely comes to work anymore, and when he does puts on some of the most boring radio ever, gets all the press. I hope those idiots over their get their heads out of their asses and put some effort into promoting guys that ACTUALLY do their job!

Like O&A said, SiriusXM decided years ago to put all their eggs in one basket.......Now those eggs have gone rotten Sad but O&A are the Rodney Dangerfield of satellite radio

[Atomic Wedgie]

I listen to O&A more than Howard now but I agree that they are big fucking babies. They shit on their fans way more than Howard has ever shit on his.You've got to be kidding!!

[Gwarn1]

Not gonna happen.
Well you're just too fucking cool for O&A now arent you?

[ZeroZed]

O&A put on a far better show than Howard these days. It is programmed to be funny (e.g. comedians sitting in nearly everyday), the interviews are much better and with a wider variety of people (e.g. as mentioned earlier, the cast of the Walking Dead), the hosts come PREPARED (i.e. with actual talking points, not just rambling on about AGT), and most importantly they actually put on a fucking show 5 days a week.

Add to that the fact that they have Ron & Fez on after them (along with sporadic airing of Ron Bennington Interviews) and their channel blows away H100 and H101 combined.

If you have an old Sirius radio that can't receive the "Best of XM" just change it out. I just threw out my old Sirius Replay and XM gave me an Onyx radio for free. Same music channels, same news--I just get O&A instead of H100. I can stream H100 on my computer via "other means" when I need to.

Oh....Shoutcast (http://www.shoutcast.com)is also your friend. ;)

[KINGjoe]

I still listen to the old jew when he is live, but thank god for the sirius app carrying the XM channels because o&a channel is the place to be now, siri/xm would be smart to start kissing o&a's ass and ron and fez too for that matter because the old jew is on his last legs and won't make it to the end of his contract anyway.....

[renchfrieswith]

I tried to listen to them, but they're just too angry and bitter for me. It's mostly bitterness instead of funny. Howard seems like a nice guy inside, these guys seem dark and frustrated pricks through and through.

[shabadoo25]

Howard never being on drove me to find O & A. Their show doesn't compare to Howard's glory days, but the scams/Goodfellas bit recently was the only thing on Sirius that has made me laugh like a retard since Artie left.

And they are on 5 days a week...what a concept.

Is that right, is that WB forum actually censored by OA? NO WONDER last time (last week) I was on there I literally scanned through dozens of threads looking for SOMETHING critical or negative and couldn't find shit. It was eerie, incestuous, cultish, and my Spidey-sense did go off. I was looking for "Anthony is a pedophile" type threads for him supposedly dating a 17 year old and got NOTTTHHHHINNNGGG, so weird!! If that was HOWARD he would get massacred on here (and SFN) and couldn't do shit about it although he's been known to make moves on SFN.

BOY I just lost a little respect for OA (not sure how much I have to begin with really) with that nugget. I thought they were really anti all that mindset with all their railing on Howard for his Karmizan gag-order?? That's some sensitive censored bullshit move, and one of the worst I've heard. I DO know they also block people like they're fucking Marcus Camby for any tweet that's not entirely in their camp if I'm not mistaken. Just when you thought HOWARD (I don't think he blocks people really) was too sensitive or got his ass-kissed too much, they may be WAY worse!

And YES, they sound like fucking fairy weenie toolboxes the way they brag about blocking people on twitter. Ain't a great way to look crazy, heroic, and insouciant to their fans or potential NEW fans.

[Estocada]

I'm kind of in the same boat as you with the O/A show. I also like the fact that there are actual new live shows everyday, not some half assed half a week if you are lucky deal.

[Estocada]

I get that vibe too, but the guests and Norton are worth it, plus the new shows. How many times can I listen to Howard's 10 hour work week?

[Pearse]

Love both shows, whats fucked up is I started listening to Stern live after Artie left and O&A live after Patrice passed, I missed some great radio

[isabella]

i started to listen when howard made it quite clear his main job was agt and his show would be a recap of agt.
i'm beginning to understand the vibe on o&a...i did have to turn it off last week when they had a boringwrestler or sportsperson on....but they have done compelling interviews and i do like angry and dark.
but i listen from 9 on so i do miss alot of their show(i sleep in most of the time)and i love their references to my old home long island and i gather one of them lives in northport (or somewhere near). i lived on the north shore of suffolk so i do get nostalgic.

[BudBudha]

Never listened other than some clips you guys may post. I still listen to Stern thinking it can only get better :facepalm:

Opie is originally from Centerport and lived for some time in Huntington......Anthony bounced around the island {i think Northport, East Islip amongst others} and currently lives in Roslyn

[Scarfo]

Opie and Anthony still have real moments, and that's why I started listening. The room is very "open".

Howard conducts his show in a darkened, sealed cavern, free from criticism or the real world. It's his alternate-reality bubble where it's still 1997.

I will always have a hard time with O&A's snarkiness, snickering bullshit, crappy parodies, etc... but, show for show, they're routinely crushing Howard.

[rolltide]

That's was the same attitude I had, but I've given up on Stern in that he's gotten lazy and cares very little about the radio show.

Last time I was on wackbag there was a gigantic thread about the youngster. And they talked about Ants ex girls for two hours last week. While the youngster was in studio. I was assured it was all on the "up an up"

But I wholeheartedly agree WB sucks.

[Pearse]

Must say Opie's an unfunny sensitive cunt, I actually prefer Sam over Opie. Ant and Jimmy are the best even though their right wing views can annoy me
